Organizers of Geo Week, a conference and trade show for geospatial and mapping professionals, have announced the conference program and speaker lineup for the 2027 event, taking place February 23–25 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This year’s program tackles the most pressing and complex issues in the industry, with sessions on AI-enhanced workflows, accessible reality capture, scan to BIM, subsurface mapping, bathymetric lidar, resilient infrastructure, data accuracy, workforce development, and the technologies shaping the future of the built world and beyond.

“Geospatial professionals are being asked to deliver more accurate data, faster, in increasingly complex environments, and the Geo Week 2027 program meets that challenge head-on with real case studies and important discussions,” said Carla Lauter, senior content manager at Geo Week. “From some of the world’s most complex infrastructure to remote and important landscapes, our speakers will share real-world case studies and practical takeaways attendees can put to work immediately.”

Sessions for the 2027 conference program include:

Bringing the Underground Into View

Survey Grade SLAM Panel

The program is anchored by a recently announced keynote, A Lake in Crisis: Mapping Utah’s Great Salt Lake, a panel on how better data can help communities respond to the shrinking of one of the West’s most threatened lakes. Additional keynotes will be announced soon. Event Partners ASPRS and Reality Capture Network (RCN) will also continue to host dedicated conference tracks, all accessible with the Geo Week Full Conference Pass.

New this year, Geo Week News is offering Digital Insider Access, which unlocks keynote videos, session recordings, exclusive takeaways, and supporting materials post-event for an additional purchase for conference pass holders. Additionally, Geo Week also partners with professional development associations, including GISCI, to offer certificates of attendance that attendees can submit to meet requirements for professional certification and educational accreditations.

There will also be an Emerging Leaders Networking and Mentorship Kickoff program.
